Though India has emerged as a major producer of horticultural crops and the share of horticulture in the economy has been increasing, there is still a lot of scope in harnessing the potential of this sector. Sectors like horticulture (both fruit and vegetable cultivation) have a comparative advantage in the hilly region due to its agro-climatic conditions. The study was conducted in Dhari block of Nainital district, Uttarakhand. Both primary and secondary data was collected for the study purpose. Four vegetables covering maximum area under vegetable cultivation was selected. On this basis, pea, cabbage, French bean and tomato are selected for the study. The costs in and returns from each vegetable crop is analysed and found that the returns per rupee invested from pea, cabbage, tomato, bean were 1.56, 1.25, 1.20 and 1.10 respectively. Thus, it is profitable for vegetable growers to adopt cultivation in the region.
